…full-on glam with a little bit of S & M!

Archive for the month “December, 2012”

Hair serums might be my biggest obsession… I lost count how many there are, sitting lonely on my bathroom shelf. I rarely repurchase a hair product, but if I had to pick only one, I’d go for Mythic Oil.

Enriched with a special blend of avocado and grape seed oil, this lightweight oil cares and pampers all hair types. Nourishing even the finest hair, the formula leaves hair looking shiny, feeling nourished and supple.

What I say:

In comparison to every single hair serum or oil I’ve tried so far – from Moroccan Oil to Kerastase Elixir Ultime, this is by far the best at keeping my fine hair soft and frizz-free, without weighing it down. The light fruity scent is a bonus! This just might be the first hair oil I will go back too – if I ever run out of it! I use one pump in the summer and two pumps during winter.

TIP: Apply hair serums/oils on towel dried hair concentrating on hair ends, or after blow-drying as a finishing touch.

The only botox you need in your thirties is this one! No hair masque comes close to it. For best results, leave it overnight!

Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil A/O

I believe this is not so new, but that doesn’t make it any less new to my skin – I have found this while on a shopping spree in Covent Garden in London last Christmas. What a find – worth every penny! This replaces all 745-or-so steps of removing make-up I was used to before – no more cotton pads, make-up removers, waterproof make-up removers, face washes and toners – this replaces them all in just one single step – apply, emulsify with water, rinse. Saves time and space!

The best serum I have tried so far – and such a big bottle it comes out as one of the cheapest too!

Last but not least:

Essence fix & matte

No 1 when it comes to fixing powders. No make-up is complete without it. I’m a bit ashamed to admit I used to buy Chanel‘s and Dior’s fixing powders solely for the sake of the name, even though this one does a much better job. Seriously.

And now THE ”MEH” LIST:

MAC Modelette

It’s just ok. Nothing more and nothing less (to view the post click here).

One of the greatest French manicure kits out there! If you’re after DIY simple and chic french manicure, this is for you. And all this for just 8 quid! 🙂 It lasts for a week with a good top coat ( Sally Hansen’s top coat used here).

Liner French Precision & Pastel Top Coat

I wanted to keep it as simple as possible to balance the festive kitsch out…if desired, some nail art can always be done on this very basic style to glam it up a bit!

Although I like walking barefoot – not only in Summer on the beach at sunset with a long dress down to the feet or with simple denim shorts. Although I always do my warming up dancing without socks. It gives me a real sense of freedom and makes me feel the true contact between the body and the surrounding space. Although I truly believe that “less is more”…. I can’t stop collecting socks. There are those I wear when I get back home and it is suddenly relax and vanilla infusion. Those I wear matching with a long knit and biker boots. The black ones – embroidered or lace – suitable for a mini black dress, but especially suitable for shorts or mini leather skirts a little ‘rock and a little ‘cat woman’. But in Winter more than ever I like overlaying several layers with different textures and consistencies. An…
